Don't load an excessive number of apps onto your Iphone. There are many well thought out apps that can make your life more pleasant and help you get things done. There are also many apps that are a waste of virtual space and will only need to be deleted later.

Did you know that unlike many cell phones, you can assign a ringtone for each feature on your phone? Well, it is the truth! All you have to do is go to the settings, tap on the sounds feature and assign the tone. For contacts, tap on a contact and assign a ringtone to this specific entry!

You're going to need to switch between punctuation keys and the alphabet keys, and you would like to know how to do this much more quickly. Press the ?123 key, but then don't let up your finger as the actual punctuation layout shows up. Slide your finger over to the comma key, release, and you will see the ABC layout appear automatically.

Take photos with your iPhone headphone cord. The volume buttons, both up and down can now be used on many iPhones to snap photos. This way you can steady your hand and press the cord button to snap the photo. Doing it this way means you do not shake the camera and frame for a crisper picture.

Only use a micro-fiber cloth to clean the screen on your iphone. Anything other than this is likely too abrasive and can actually cause damage, even though a screen protector. Remember to always keep a micro-fiber cloth on hand to ensure that you are not tempted to use anything else to clean your phone.

While you can't delete the apps that come with your iPhone, you can certainly hide from view those that you rarely use. Try placing them in a folder together and placing the folder on the last page of your app lists. This way those rarely used apps that can't be deleted will at least be moved out of the way.

When typing on your iPhone, tip it horizontally. The keyboard should be displayed horizontally and become bigger. When browsing the internet, use the Safari app: this is the only one that will rotate when you move your phone. This should help you avoid typos and type much faster than before.

If your iPhone uses the iOS4 platform, you may find that running more than one app will drastically slow down the phone's performance. Double-tap the Home button to bring up a list of all currently running and suspended apps. Tap, then hold each one until each icon wiggles. You can then use the delete button to close any unneeded apps.

Having trouble finding a specific app over the pages and pages of your iPhone? Try using the "Search iPhone" feature. Simply click your home button once (or twice if you are off of your first screen) to get to the search feature. Then start typing the name of the app you are looking for. This also works for finding a contact, a scheduled meeting and even specific emails.

Make calls directly from your browser. If you are using your iPhone to look up information and would like to place a call to a number you find, it is not necessary to exit Safari to dial. Simply click on the number, and the phone will dial the number for you.

Use your iPhone as a workout tool. With an armband and one of the many great fitness apps available, you can use your iPhone's GPS to track your runs, bike routes, walking paths and more. Many of these applications automatically sync your workout information with a website, allowing you to easily track your progress. They can also sync with your favorite social networks.
